They've got the exact type of offense that can give Alabama some fits. A&M showed that. A&M has a better QB and better offensive line but Oregon has better backs and a really good QB in his own right. I think A&M is a little better right now than Oregon, but I do think Oregon could give Alabama a fight. Georgia gave Alabama a good fight and nearly beat them in the SEC Championship Game.

There's probably 10 other teams that would play Alabama better than this. And I'm not just talking about on a one game basis. This game is just proving that, while they deserved to be here, Notre Dame put together one of the least impressive undefeated seasons in a long time -- by a big name school playing a schedule of their caliber.
